Jennifer Lopez Wore âAstralâ Nails at the AMAs, and We're Completely Starstruck
Twinkle, twinkleâ?¦
Jennifer Lopez is fast becoming our favorite manicure muse. Perhaps it's because she leans into soft, delicate designs like the ethereal fairy nails she wore to the final practice before Saudi Arabia's F1 Grand Prix.
Or maybe it's the clever twists on a classic nude that hit the sweet spot between capturing our imagination and adding just the right amount of sparkleâall while still being office appropriate.

Either way, she's just served up another lust-worthy manicure courtesy of her long-time nail artist Tom Bachik for the American Music Awards (AMAs) on May 26. In an Instagram post, Bachik detailed the âAstral Flash Maniâ he created to match J.Lo's performance look, which he described as âa futuristic crystal covered circuit board.â

Tom namechecks the ApreÅ Astral Flash Gel in Santo My Palo as his go-to shade for her eight outfit changes, which he kept as a sheer wash on the nails.
Polishes in the ApreÅ Astral collection are inspired by either fire, water, earth, or air elements. Santo My Palo can best be described as an other-worldly nude shade with multicolored, glittery flecks suspended in the gel that reflect light for a mega-watt sparkle.

In particular, the nail color was the perfect match to the crystal-embellished, nude bodysuit Jennifer Lopez wore to open the AMAs, when she performed a blockbuster medley of last year's biggest hits. It also picked up the Swarovski crystals on her plunging Miss Sohee halter-neck gown, and the sparkling metallic dress with ab-revealing cutouts that she wore for her hosting duties.
Alternatives to the ApreÅ Astral collection include OPI Nature Strong Natural Nail Lacquer in Mind Full of Glitter, Manucurist Green Natural Nail Polish in Gold, and Nails Inc HD Glitter Power Pigment Polish in Always Electric.
In terms of length, Bachik says âJenâs loving a longer nail right now but not too longâ so when recreating the look, stick to a medium length squoval nail shapeâand consider adding a manifesting mantra to your mani to tap into J.Lo's celestial vibes.
